Rooftop Tents<\/strong><\/a> are one of the newest developments with modern day camping setups, and have been taking over nearly every single campsite and 4WD touring destination across the whole of Australia. Despite the popularity, if you\u2019ve never had a good look inside one of the top quality rooftop tents<\/a>,<\/strong> you are probably still wondering \u201cwhat\u2019s the appeal?\u201d if that is the case you are yet to discover what you have been missing out on!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Setup Time! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The time it takes to setup a roof top tent is blistering, however if you are running on bush time you pretty much have all the time in the world to get camp sorted so this may not necessarily persuade you to convert. However, if we told you that within 5 minutes of pulling up you can be sitting back sipping a cold beer from your Adventure Kings car fridge your opinion might not be so against the idea.<\/p>\n

Some models like the Adventure Kings Weekender <\/strong><\/a>requires you to unzip the cover grab a hold of the ladder, and unfold it and you are ready to hit the sack!<\/p>\n

This setup speed is fantastic when you are doing longer distance touring and at a new campsite every night, being able to setup on uneven ground and one gravel or soft surfaces it opens a world of potential campsite possibilities!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.Weather Proof<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adventure Kings Roof top Tents are all FULLY WATERPROOF, and with all the windows shut are 100% windproof, meaning no more icy cold drafts, and no more waking up damp after a midnight storm!<\/p>\n

The words \u201cwaterproof\u201d, \u201cweatherproof\u201d and even \u201cwind proof\u201d get thrown around a lot.. but what does it mean?<\/p>\n

When a fabric can completely prevent water from coming through we can safely call it \u201cwaterproof\u201d however with a small amount of pressure, some fabrics can seep water through, and are therefore rated with \u201cwater head ratings\u201d this is how high a column of water can be above the fabric before it starts to leak. All adventure Kings roof top tents have a minimum of a 2000mm head rating, that\u2019s a WHOPPING 2m worth of water pressure before they will start to leak.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. All Night Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a tall statement as comfort is also a relative term, but until you\u2019ve had a snooze on-top of one of the 75mm thick open cell dense foam mattresses you\u2019ve never had a comfy sleep on the tracks!<\/p>\n

Open cell foam is chosen for all mattresses in Kings Roof Top Tents, because it is so comfortable you\u2019ll want to use it every night, but also breathable, allowing your sweat to breath and dry out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Breathability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Engineered and stitched together using a highly breathable 320gsm poly-cotton rip-stop Canvas the range of Adventure Kings Roof Top Tents are designed to breath out excess moisture.<\/p>\n

The breathability of a roof top tent is important because the human body releases an unbelievable 2L of water every night in the form of sweat and breath vapor, which can condense on the inside of less breathable setups. The highly breathable canvas fabric coupled with MASSIVE mesh opening windows you can really let the excess humidity out, no matter what the outside conditions, staying dryer and warmer than before!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.Cost Free <\/strong>Natural Climate Control!<\/strong><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much worse than setting up camp in the summer months to be stuck in a sweaty hot canvas tent. A roof top tent<\/strong><\/a> is mounted to the roof of your 4WD meaning it is elevated up off the ground, taking advantage of the massive wide insect proof mesh windows on the Adventure Kings Range allows the cool evening breeze to remove excess heat.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Tourer\u2019 and \u2018Weekender\u2019 models use a \u2018tropical roof\u2019 design meaning you will get the benefits of a natural air conditioning effect which naturally regulates the temperature and allows excess heat to be pulled away keeping you cooler in summer, and warmer in winter!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.Stability.
\n<\/strong>If you can drive your vehicle to a location, you can setup camp with a Kings Roof top tent<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Roof top tents are fastened directly to your vehicle using heavy duty fasteners, directly to a solid steel roof rack<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

The solid foundation, of a steel roof rack<\/strong><\/a> makes a Kings Roof Top Tent<\/strong><\/a> one of the most stable camp setups available. We\u2019ve stayed in ours during massive storms, and slept comfortably with confidence, knowing that whatever nature throws at us we\u2019ll stay dry warm and well rested ready for another day on the tracks!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.Open cabin space.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By having the majority of your camping setup already bolted to the roof, you clear up all of the internal space inside your vehicles cabin making room for more important things like your fridge Freezer. Having most of your setup on the roof also makes sure you have clear vision all around your vehicle in heavier traffic.<\/p>\n

There are plenty more reasons to upgrade your camping setup to include a Roof top tent<\/a>, <\/strong>but we are sure you don\u2019t need any more convincing.<\/p>\n

A roof top tent is the perfect way to instantly improve your speed of setup and comfort at camp!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
